Q & A – Elopement Announcement?

QUESTION:

I am getting married in the Dominican Republic. It is my second marriage. It
is a private ceremony with just us and my 2 children on the beach. However
we want to send announcements that we are getting married, but we do not want
to send invitations. Do I send the announcements before or after we are
married?

ANSWER:

Hi, Kristina~

First, congratulations on your wedding!

Second, since you are having a private ceremony with only family invited,
you should send your announcements directly after you return from your
wedding.

It’s important that you send them right after you get home, and be clear
that the announcement is just that, an announcement, and not an invitation.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Happy planning!
